St. Patrick's Day Shaker with Cardstock Warehouse

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a fun and festive shaker card? I started by stenciling shamrocks using Lucky Clover and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Inks, then added a splatter of Starry Colors Pigments for a bit of shimmer. After trimming the panel down to 3-3/4" x 5", I layered it onto a dark green shade of cardstock before adhering it to an A2 card base. This background sets the perfect stage for the shaker element!

For the shaker, I die-cut the Shamrock Shaker Die from Evergreen and Gold Touch MirriSparkle Cardstock and filled it with Lucky Charms and St. Patrick’s Day Clay Confetti. I then stamped, colored, and die-cut images from the Best of Luck Stamp Set, bringing the card to life with OLO markers. After assembling everything, I added the final touch—a stamped sentiment inside using Onyx Black VersaFine Ink. This card is packed with shimmer, texture, and a bit of Irish luck—perfect for sending St. Patrick’s Day cheer!

Little Chicken Nugget Baby Card with Trinity Stamps

Creating a fun and playful card is always a joy, especially when working with adorable die cuts! For today’s project, I used the Trinity Stamps Petite Prehistoric Pals Die Set to craft a quirky dinosaur-themed card with lots of texture and dimension. The idea? Turning dinosaurs into chicken nuggets! I die-cut the dinos from Lawn Fawn No. 2 Pencil Cardstock, then used Ohuhu Alcohol Art Markers to add spots and shading for a crispy, golden-brown look. To enhance the effect, I blended Ranger Distress Inks in Rusty Hinge and Wild Honey around the edges and added Vintage Photo ink splatter to mimic that delicious fried texture. For the sentiment, I die-cut "Little Nugget" from the Graham Cracker Alphabet Die Set using red cardstock from the Scrapbook.com Christmas Paper Pad, adhering the letters to a crisp white panel cut with the Emergency Card Essentials Die Set #2.

To pull the design together, I arranged the dinosaur nuggets around the sentiment panel, trimming the edges for a clean finish. The "Congratulations" sentiment, from the A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything Stamp Set, was stamped in Pinecone VersaFine Clair Ink on red cardstock, then popped up for added dimension. Everything was layered onto a Lawn Fawn Gotta Have Gingham background, resembling a classic fast-food basket liner. Mounted on an A2 card base, this card is a hilarious and charming way to celebrate a little one’s milestone—or just bring a smile to a dino-loving friend’s face. Who knew prehistoric pals could be so tasty?

Not So Average Bear Fandom Box Card with The Sassy Club

Creating interactive cards is one of my favorite ways to add a little extra charm to my projects, and today I’m excited to share a fun box card featuring The Sassy Club’s "Bear with Me" stamp set! To start, I stamped the four adorable fandom characters in Onyx Black ink and colored them with my OLO markers. After fussy cutting the images, I moved on to constructing the card base. Using the Sassy Box Card Die Set, I cut the base from Lawn Fawn's Noble Fir cardstock, then layered on woodgrain-patterned paper from the Enchanted paper pad for the front and sides. For the back panel, I used Speckled Eggshell cardstock to create a neutral backdrop, perfect for stamping some fun sign images using Simon Hurley’s Over The Moon, Overzealous, and Cookie Dough dye inks.

To build depth and dimension, I die-cut grassy borders from the Noble Fir cardstock and adhered them to the inner layers of the box card. The sentiment, “I can’t bear to be without you,” was stamped in Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink on an extra backing panel and masked off with a post-it note while I stamped additional signs to create a cohesive background. For the finishing touches, I stamped “You’re not average” on Speckled Eggshell cardstock, fussy cut it, and adhered it to the front for a bold statement. Finally, I carefully glued my fandom characters onto the grassy sections, making sure they stood upright to complete the little woodland scene. I love how this interactive box card turned out—it’s the perfect mix of rustic charm and heartfelt sentiment!

Magical School Acceptance Letter with Owls from Miss Ink Stamps

Hi friends, I'm so excited to share a card featuring the new Magic Collection! For this project, I used the Owls stamp set and coordinating dies, along with the Postage Seal and Shaker dies. I started by stamping my owl images in a brown alcohol marker-friendly ink and used my OLO markers to color them in. Since I wanted a more vibrant outline, I restamped the images with Pinecone Versafine ink after coloring. For the owl coloring, I used O7.7 for shadows, O7.3 as a mid-tone, and O7.1 to blend it all together. To give the owls extra character, I added pink cheeks with R0.2 and some stippling for texture. I also colored 11 envelopes using YO2.0 and R1.5 for the wax seals. If you want to see more details on how I colored these images, be sure to check out my video for all my tips!

Next, I created a faux wax seal using the largest die from the Postage Seal and Shaker collection, cutting it from red cardstock. To add depth, I blended Lumberjack Plaid and Black Soot Distress Inks. After assembling the envelope-inspired background with distressed beige cardstock, I layered my wax seal to make it look indented and glossy. I positioned my owls so each one held a letter, scattering the rest across the card for a magical, letter-flying effect. Finally, I stamped the sentiment, "I heard you're waiting for a letter," to tie in the whimsical theme. A few white gel pen highlights added shine to the wax seal and envelopes. I love how this card turned out, and I hope it brings you inspiration! Let me know in the comments what magical theme you’d love to see on a card. Happy crafting!

Lucky to Have You St. Patrick's Day Card with Scrapbook.com

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a handmade card full of shimmering greens and gold? For this project, I combined a mix of Scrapbook.com’s stamps, dies, and papers to create a festive and elegant "lucky" card. I started by stamping the "lucky" sentiment from the Sweet Heart stamp set in Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink onto a patterned paper from the Charming A2 Patterned Cardstock Pad. To add some extra texture, I flicked black shimmer splatters over the sentiment before adhering it to my card base. Next, I die-cut the largest frame from the Nested Stitched Scalloped Frames set using Holographic Mirror Paper and popped it up with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension.

For the embellishments, I cut various sizes of shamrocks using the Nested Four-Leaf Clovers Die Set from a green papers in the Sherbet Cardstock Pad. To add a touch of nature, I stamped sprigs from the Spring Sprigs set in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, then colored them with Colorista Art Markers before cutting them with the coordinating dies. I arranged the sprigs and shamrocks around the frame, layering them for depth. Inside the card, I stamped "Happy St. Patrick’s Day" from the Celebrate Expressions stamp set in green to complete the festive theme. As a final touch, I added Gold Glitter Pops of Color around the card for a little sparkle. This card is the perfect way to spread a bit of luck and cheer—whether you send it to a friend or display it as festive décor!

Lillies For You Card with Cardstock Warehouse

Hi, friends! ’m back with another card-making post with Cardstock Warehouse to share with you today. I love the pearlescent shine of the Stardream Cardstock collection and thought they would look so pretty on a floral card! I narrowed down the Stardream Cardstock colors I wanted to use with the Artisan Flora Lily Para-Dies from Crafty Meraki and cut them out. I also used the Gold to be the shadow and White Lessebo for the word of my For You sentiment. To give the die cut pieces out of Rose Quartz and Fairway some dimension, I ink blended on a little bit of Distress Ink with small blending brushes.

Once the pieces were ready, I layered the flowers, buds and sentiment together with liquid adhesive. I trimmed a piece of White Lessebo to 4x5-¼” and embossed it with the Branching Out folder and splattered some gold watercolor. Once it was dry, I adhered it to an A2 card base with tape runner and started to layer the florals and sentiment with liquid and foam adhesive. I also stamped a birthday with black ink. I just love the shine on my card with the beautiful lilies and white on white background. The pearlescent shines through, even where I added some Distress Ink! I hope this card inspires you today to use some shiny paper with florals. Perfect for upcoming spring birthdays!

Fandom Camping Card with The Sassy Club

I had so much fun creating this adorable camping-themed birthday card featuring the Bird N’ Dog stamp set from The Sassy Club! I wanted to capture that cozy, outdoor adventure vibe with layered die cuts and a warm color palette. To start, I stamped and colored the dog and bird images with OLO markers, then die-cut all my pieces: a tree from green and brown cardstock, a tent from grey cardstock and grey gingham, and a sky background from grey-blue patterned paper using the Popsiclesticks A7 die. I also cut a grass border, firewood, log benches, and a vibrant fire from various cardstock colors. To bring everything to life, I added Distress Ink blending to the edges of the die cuts and splattered Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White paint onto the sky for a dreamy, starry-night effect.

Once my pieces were prepped, it was time to assemble! I layered the tree, fire, and tent first, then placed my stamped images onto the log benches to make them the stars of the scene. Everything came together beautifully on a crisp white A7 card base. To finish, I stamped a sentiment in black ink and "Happy Birthday" on the inside, tying everything together with a fun, celebratory feel. I love how this card turned out—it’s perfect for any outdoor enthusiast or camping lover! Let me know what you think in the comments, and happy crafting!

Year of the "Snake" Magical A7 Card with Popscilesticks

Hey friends! Thanks for stopping by my craft room today. I’m so excited to share some amazing new products from Popsiclesticks! I know this would usually be in my Fandom Friday video, but it’s been a wild week, and with Davina dropping so many of these fantastic products in her shop today, Saturday, it worked out perfectly! I’m using the House Pride and Crest Stamp and Die set, which includes a beautifully designed stamp set with different words and elements. Today, I’m making a larger card—about 5 x 6.5 inches—using the Admit One A7 layering dies, which I absolutely love. These dies are slightly smaller than a standard 5x7, making them a great addition to your collection if you want to layer with A2-sized dies. I’m also incorporating the alphabet die set for some extra die-cutting fun!

To start, I stamped the banner on yellow cardstock and added the word snake house's name along with the snake image using alcohol marker-friendly black ink on white cardstock. I colored the snake with cool grays to give it a silvery look rather than green, making it feel more like the house crest. I did a ton of die-cutting with the crest die, sentiments, and background layers, using black, green, and shimmery silver cardstock. For my background, I used green plaid paper from Echo Park’s Witches & Wizards collection. After assembling the crest with alternating green and silver stripes, I added some flourishes and a knight’s helmet piece for extra detail. The final touch was the die cut sentiment, "Year of the" and adding the banner and snake with foam adhesive for dimension. I had so much fun making this card, and I hope it inspires you! For more details, watch my full video linked below. Let me know in the comments—what color crest would you choose for your card?

Skating By Birthday Box Card

I just wanted to do a quick share of the birthday card I made for my daughter this year! She had specific requests and oddly enough, it was perfect for Friday's episode of Craft Roulette. I made a box card using Popsiclesticks dies because she wanted the card to be able to put on display in her room. I used some hockey stamps that I had in my stash that she picked out for me to use, too.

While this card is simple and kinda of random (the orange and black are for her favorite hockey team, Anaheim Ducks), I love that I can make something that she imagines in her head and be able to put it to paper. The critter playing hockey is from Heffy Doodle and retired, but it's one of her favorite sets so it was fun to still use it. If you want to wish her happy birthday, you can buy or donate some Girl Scout cookies in her honor - SHOP HERE!
